Legal Education: Simulation in Theory and Practice

Demonstrating how simulation can be constructed and developed for learning, teaching and assessment, this text argues that simulation is a pedagogically valuable and practical tool in teaching the modern law curriculum, and discusses the claim that this form of experiential and problem-based learning enables students to integrate the 'classroom' experience with the real world experiences they will encounter in their professional lives. The study is based on contributions from law teachers within the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa and the USA, as well as the authors' own experiences in teaching law.
